Ok, Ok, I'll admit it. Much like Meghan's mother's and her comment, my mother is of German heritage and she reminded me of such. So I now wear one of Rocky's German Heritage semi-casual tartan kilts. I even have a Bavarian knife, with antler handle, typically worn in a purpose-made Lederhosen pocket, and it is topped with a miniature Dachshund piece. Makes a great Sgian Dubh in a pair of my German Tracht hiking socks. Few weeks back, I attended a local German Fest, wearing the tartan and another local had on his lederhosen. His wife wore the dirndl but unfortunately, there was not a camera to be found....so consider this all fiction. BTW - I lived in Bavaria in the early 90's and our landlord and his entire family were part of a local Trachten Verein (club) and they wore traditional clothing frequently, performed in dances, parades, and bier festivals. What a kick. Fond, fond, memories. Four weeks and counting until my next trip to Germany. Did I happen to mention how German women over 60 respond to a younger man in a kilt? Another thread for another time; must run now to the Great Punkin Chunkin in Delaware. Camera is already packed.
